The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
17 The seventh Angel poured his bowl into the air: From the Throne in the Temple came a shout, "Done!" | 17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, "It is done!" |
18 followed by lightning flashes and shouts, thunder crashes and a colossal earthquake - a huge and devastating earthquake, never an earthquake like it since time began. | 18 Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. |
19 The Great City split three ways, the cities of the nations toppled to ruin. Great Babylon had to drink the wine of God's raging anger - God remembered to give her the cup! | 19 The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath. |
20 Every island fled and not a mountain was to be found. | 20 Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found. |
21 Hailstones weighing a ton plummeted, crushing and smashing men and women as they cursed God for the hail, the epic disaster of hail. | 21 From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible. |

1910 Hudson Model 20 news, pictures, specifications, and information | ||
Tweet |
Roadster |
The 1910 Model 20 was powered by a four-cylinder, 22.5 horsepower engine coupled to a three-speed, sliding gear transmission and had a chassis with a 100-inch wheelbase. They weighed about 1,8000 pounds. The Model 20 was available in three body styles including two different roadsters and a touring car. Pricing ranged from $900 to $1,200 and nearly 7,000 vehicles were produced and sold during 1910, which made the Hudson automobile nearly as popular as the Ford Model T.
This 1910 Hudson Model 20 Roadster has had only three owners from new. Dr. Atwell of Canton, Ohio was the original owner and used the runabout to make house calls to deliver babies. The doctor owned the car until 1940 when the second owner purchased it for only $42.50. The vehicle still retains some of its original leather upholstery and has been refinished in its original red color.
Hudson Motor Car Co., founded in 1909, was created by Roy Chapin and financed by J.L. Hudson, head of Hudson Department Stores of Detroit. Hudson was one of America's most famous makes and endured until 1957.

Silicon Wadi
From Wikipedia
Silicon Wadi[1] (Hebrew: סיליקון ואדי, lit: "Silicon Valley") is an area with a high concentration of high-tech industries in the coastal plain in Israel, similar to Silicon Valley in California, in the United States. Silicon Wadi is considered second in importance only to its Californian counterpart.[2] The area covers much of the country, although especially high concentrations of hi-tech industry can be found in the area around Tel Aviv including small clusters around the cities of Ra'anana, Herzliya, Caesarea, Haifa, the academic city of Rehovot and its neighbour Rishon Le Zion. More recently, clusters have been established around Jerusalem, with its two new science parks at Malha and Har Hotzvim, as well as towns such as Yokneam Illit in the North of the country and Israel's first "private city", Airport City, near Tel Aviv.
Contents |
Origin of the term
Silicon Wadi is a pun based on the Californian region of Silicon Valley. Wadi is the Arabic word for a dry river bed.
Early history
Israeli hi-tech firms originally began to form in the 1960s.[3] In 1961 ECI Telecom was founded, followed in 1962 by Tadiran and Elron Electronic Industries regarded by many to be the "Fairchild of Israel."[3] The number internationally successful firms grew slowly, with only one or two new successful firms each year until the early 1990s. Motorola was the first US corporation to set up an R&D unit in Israel, in 1964.[3] The center initially developed wireless products including remote irrigation systems and later developed leading chips such as the 68030.[3] Following the 1967 French arms embargo, Israel was forced to develop a domestic military industry, focusing on developing a technological edge over its neighbors.[3] Some of these military firms started to seek and develop civilian applications of military technology.[3] In the 1970s more commercial innovations began, many of which were based on military R&D, including, Scitex digital printing systems which were based on fast rotation drums from fast-rotation electronic warfare systems.[3]
World software market takes off
Slowly, the international computing industry shifted the emphasis from hardware (in which Israel had no comparative advantage) to software products (in which human capital plays a larger role).[3] The country became one of the first nations to compete in global software markets.[3] By the 1980s a diverse set of software firms had developed. Each found niches which were not dominated by US firms and between 1984 and 1991 "pure" software exports increased from $5 million to $110 million. Many of the important ideas here were developed by graduates of MMRM, the Israeli computer corps, established by the IDF in the 1960s.[3]
Hi-tech firms continued to struggle throughout this period with marketing and many products, such as a mini-computer developed in the 1970s by Elbit, who were unable to successfully commercialise the product.[3]
Takeoff in the 1990s
The 1990s saw the real takeoff of hi-tech industries in Israel, with international media attention increasing awareness of innovation in the country.[3] Growth increased, whilst new immigrants from the Soviet Union increased the available hi-tech workforce.[3] Peace agreements including the 1993 Oslo Peace Accord increased the investment environment and Silicon Wadi began to develop into a noticeable hi-tech cluster.[3]
Silicon Wadi today
For more than 40 years local demand fueled Israeli industrial expansion, as the country's population grew rapidly and the standard of living rose. More recently, world demand for Israeli advanced technologies, software, electronics, and other sophisticated equipment has stimulated industrial growth. Israel's high status in new technologies is the result of its emphasis on higher education and research and development. Cultural factors contributing to the expansion includes chutzpah and openness to immigration.[4] The government also assists industrial growth by providing low-rate loans from its development budget. The main limitations experienced by industry are the scarcity of domestic raw materials and sources of energy and the restricted size of the local market. One certain advantage is that many Israeli university graduates are likely to become IT entrepreneurs or join startups, about twice as much as US university graduates, who are also attracted to traditional corporate executive positions, according to Charles Holloway, co-director of the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies and a professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business of Stanford University [5]. ICQ, for instance, is one of the world's most famous Israeli software products, developed by 4 young entrepreneurs [6]. IBM has its IBM Content Discovery Engineering Team in Jerusalem[7]
Due to the small size of Israel, the concentration of hi-tech firms across much of the country is enough for it to be recognised as one large cluster. Most activity is located in the densely populated areas of metropolitan Tel Aviv, Haifa, andJerusalem although some secondary with additional activity include the corridor to Beer Sheba, including Kiryat Gat, and the Western Galilee. In all, this is an area no larger than 6000 square kilometers, half of the extended Silicon Valley's geographical coverage.[3]
Many international technology companies have research and development facilities in this region including the likes of Intel, IBM[7], Google, Hewlett-Packard, Philips, Cisco Systems, Oracle Corporation, SAP, BMC Software, Microsoft, Motorola and CA. Many Israeli high-tech companies are based in the region, including Zoran Corporation, CEVA Inc, Aladdin Knowledge Systems, NICE Systems, Horizon Semiconductors, RAD Data Communications, Radware, Tadiran Telecom, Radvision, Check Point Software Technologies, Amdocs, Babylon Ltd., Elbit, Israel Aircraft Industries and the solar thermal equipment designer and manufacturer Solel, with most of them being listed on the NASDAQ, which even has an Israel Index. Because of this, Israel is often referred to as the Silicon Wadi and is known to be second only to Silicon Valley in the level of its innovation and ingenuity. In fact, Newsweek Magazine recently named Tel Aviv as one of the world's top ten "Hot High-Tech Cities" [8]. Intel developed its new dual-core Core Duo processor at its Israel Development Center located at the Merkaz Ta'asiya ve'Meida (Scientific Industries Center) in the city of Haifa[9]. In 2006, more than 3,000 start-ups were created in Israel, a number that is only second to the US[10].
The importance of Silicon Wadi was first recognised internationally by Wired magazine, who in 2000, ranked locations by the strength of cluster effects, giving the Israeli high-tech cluster the same rank as Boston, Helsinki, London, and Kista in Sweden, second only to the Silicon Valley.[3] In 2007, the Economist considered Silicon Wadi to be second in importance only to its Californian counterpart.[2]
A startup that became a major powerhouse in the OpenSource era, Zend Technologies, is best known for its founders Andi Gutmans and Zeev Suraski, both Technion graduates and who, along with other Israeli graduates of the Technion and the Danish-Greenlandic Rasmus Lerdorf, have created PHP. Gutmans and Suraski are both Israelis and developed PHP3 and the core of PHP4; they founded Zend in Ramat Gan, Israel. Another entrepreneurial case is the RAD Group, whose member companies include RAD Data Communications and Radvision, which were founded by Zohar Zisapel and his brother Yehuda. Zohar is often called the "Bill Gates of Israel".[11][12]
Israel Venture Capital Industry
The origins of the, now thriving, Venture Capital industry in Israel can be traced to a government initiative in 1993 named the Yozma program ("Initiative" in Hebrew); which offered attractive tax incentives to any foreign venture-capital investments in Israel and offered to double any investment with funds from the government.[13]As a result;
"Between 1991 and 2000, Israel's annual venture-capital outlays, nearly all private, rose nearly 60-fold, from $58 million to $3.3 billion; companies launched by Israeli venture funds rose from 100 to 800; and Israel's information-technology revenues rose from $1.6 billion to $12.5 billion. By 1999, Israel ranked second only to the United States in invested private-equity capital as a share of GDP. And it led the world in the share of its growth attributable to high-tech ventures: 70 percent."
City Journal - Summer 2009 [13]
The 2009, Dun and Bradstreet venture capital ranking in Israel include:[14]

Alhamdulillah. It's gonna be our 57th Merdeka Day. This is the place we harbour our hopes, this is where our loves are blossomming.
So, any fresh hopes and missions to achieve for this tiny nation? If you ask me, I certainly have numerous wishes to make, indeed. And they are:
1) Religion
Moderation or wasatiah is definitely my cup of tea. Extremisms in any ways are not beneficial to anybody and it can only cause a huge downturn to the country.
2) Economy
Whoever that governs this nation has to be prudent with the taxpayers'funds. We did not elect you to screw up the money nor to swindle these hard-earned money for your cronies' benefits. Use them wisely and diligently.
3) Sports
To our athletes out there, compete like there will be no tomorrow in your pet event. Make us proud. Make us adore you like a role model. We don't have Superman in this real world and we need you to be that Superman to unite the nation.
4) People
As citizens of Malaysia, please stop the in fighting as it brings chaos to the nation. Set aside your political differences and maintain our 5 decades-long tolerance and live our life to the muhibbah spirit till the end of this nation.
5) Politic
To the political parties in Malaysia, don't enter the world of politic just because of power and money. Leave a legacy of administration to be highly spoken in years to come and absolutely not a condemnation for generations to come.
These are my humble wishes for this lovely country, some wishes from a commonner/layman like me. I ain't no saint or tok imam but I believe any walking man in the street deserves an equal opportunity to express himself about his nation.
I truly love this nation. Di sini lahirnya sebuah cinta....
Selamat Menyambut Hari Merdeka ke 57.
Your modest citizen,
Mufarz @ 2014

Child's burnt body found
Comment on this storyJohannesburg - A partially burnt body of a child was found in a mine dump in Reiger Park on Saturday, Gauteng police said.
"The body was found by a passer-by who then phoned the police. Police are now in the process of identifying the body and the cause of the death," said Colonial Noxolo Kweza.
She said police were still looking for a 25-year-old man who could help with the investigation into the disappearance of Cuburne Lavone van Wyk.
The little boy disappeared on August 6, 2014 while playing with siblings outside.
He was last seen wearing a blue track suit with yellow and red stripes.

NH warning about health insurance scams
Wednesday, October 23, 2013
CONCORD -- Since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law in March 2010, unscrupulous scammers have been creating ways to take advantage of consumers' uncertainty surrounding the law.
Open enrollment in the new marketplaces began October 1. However, bogus websites that purport to be part of the exchanges have been appearing online for more than a year. Do not enter any personal or financial information into a website that says you can purchase a policy before the open enrollment period. Regardless of whether your state has chosen to run its own exchange or work with the federal government, you
You are not required to obtain a new insurance or Medicare card under the ACA. Also, anyone who is a legitimate representative of the federal government will already have your personal and financial information and should not ask you to provide it.
-- You receive an unsolicited phone call or email from someone trying to sell insurance. |

Jan. 3 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. gilts declined after beating all 26 major government bond markets tracked by Bloomberg last year as gains in stocks and commodities damped demand for a haven.
Ten-year yields rose before the Debt Management Office sells 3.75 billion pounds ($5.8 billion) of notes maturing in 2017 tomorrow. Gilts also fell after a report showed U.K. manufacturing shrank less than economists predicted in December. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index of shares gained 1.6 percent while the FTSE 100 Index rose 2.3 percent and copper prices climbed after a gauge of manufacturing in China rose. Sterling strengthened versus the dollar.
"Strong gains in commodities and stocks on the back of good news from Asia reduced demand for top quality government bonds including gilts," said Nick Stamenkovic, a fixed-income strategist at RIA Capital Markets Ltd. in Edinburgh. "Risk appetite may improve in the near term, but longer-term I expect the euro-debt crisis to continue to provide support for gilts."
The 10-year gilt yield advanced six basis points, or 0.06 percentage point, to 2.03 percent at 5:05 p.m. London time. The 3.75 percent bond due September 2021 fell 0.525, or 5.25 pounds per 1,000-pound ($1,566) face amount, to 115.01.
Two-year yields rose three basis points to 0.36 percent, after falling to an all-time low 0.271 percent on Dec. 30.
Factory Output
Gilts completed a second year of gains in 2011, returning 17 percent and outperforming German bunds and U.S. Treasuries as investors sought the safest assets amid sovereign-debt turmoil in the euro region.
The pound rose 0.9 percent to $1.5659 and climbed 0.7 percent to 120.123 yen. It was little changed against the euro at 83.39 pence.
A gauge of factory output based on a survey by Markit Economics and the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply rose to 49.6 from a revised 47.7 in November, the group said today. The median forecast of 19 economists in a Bloomberg News survey was for a drop to 47.3 from an initially reported 47.6 in November. A level below 50 indicates contraction.
Gilts fell even after a Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets report showed an index of British companies' optimism about the economy declined compared with three months earlier.
The 10-year yield will rise to 2.25 percent by the end of the first quarter, according to a weighted average of 12 forecasts compiled by Bloomberg.
Gilt Spreads
Sterling fell against the euro after data showed German unemployment fell more than economists predicted in December. Further gains in the euro against the pound may be limited as the euro debt crisis entered a third year without a comprehensive solution, Jane Foley, a senior currency strategist at Rabobank International in London, wrote in an e-mailed note.
"The better tone of economic data may have provided a boost to risk appetite this morning, but there is no altering the fact that the storm clouds of the euro-zone crisis continue to gather," Foley said.
Futures traders last week boosted bets the pound will decline against the U.S. dollar. The difference in the number of wagers on a decline in the pound compared with those on a gain, so-called net shorts, rose to 29,172 on Dec. 27 from 25,939 a week earlier, according to the Washington-based Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Lyrics- Somewhere in these private minds, The last one comes just in time to clear out The chambers and sew up the lips, 'Cause that's the price to pay for hoping every slips not a slide. In other words not to get it wrong, It's pointless to walk when it's past time to run. Secured under the weight of watchful eyes, Lulled to sleep under clear expansive skies. Somewhere in these prying hearts Conflicting histories tear us apart And we hope we don't get what we deserve, Hide behind the targets in front of all the people we serve.Standard guitar tuning:EADGBENo capo

Blair Oaks teacher to thank actress on ET
Wednesday, March 6, 2013
Blair Oaks Elementary School teacher Christie Thompson will appear in a segment on "Entertainment Tonight" Wednesday evening to personally thank a Hollywood actress who she credits with saving her life.
The show airs at 6:30 p.m. on KRCG-TV 13.
Thompson said she knew she was suffering a heart attack in November 2011 in part because she had watched "Just A Little Heart Attack," featuring actress Elizabeth Banks ("The Hunger Games") in conjunction with the American Heart Association's "Go Red For Women" campaign.
In the film, Banks plays a stressed-out mom trying to handle her job demands while feeding her children breakfast and getting them off to school, all the while suffering from jaw and arm pain, nausea and profuse sweating.
Thompson, who became a national spokesperson for the American Heart Association's "Go Red for Women" campaign, flew to Los Angeles to meet and personally thank Banks for her work on the film, and ET filmed their meeting, in which they also talked about women and heart disease.

When it comes to cooking, New Zealand Lamb is extremely versatile, the flavour combines beautifully with a variety of ingredient's to create some mouth-watering dishes. This is a quick & easy recipe to cook with kids. The key is to have a wok large enough to cook for 4 at once. If you have a smaller wok it is best to cook in two batches. If the kids are eating this recipe you might want to cut back on the aromatics (garlic, ginger and chilli). For more tasty and imaginative recipe ideas go to loveourlamb.co.uk.

I have been in Iraq where the number of refugees from the war in Syria continues to climb, just as it does in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. We are entering the fourth year of fighting and there is no end in sight to this madness.
Syria is the greatest humanitarian catastrophe of our times, with more than nine million people on the move not out of choice but for the simple motive of survival. That's more than 6.5 million people forced to flee inside Syria and another 2.5 million who've decided that if they want to live they need to cross their country's borders and seek refuge among neighbours. Try to imagine what it would be like for
40 per cent of the population of your country
or city or town, to be uprooted suddenly in the most brutal circumstances. Try to imagine yourself forced to flee your home. When you do perhaps no longer these numbers would be just a remote statistic.
I stood on the banks of the Tigris River and was part of the reception committee for another barge-load of Syrians arriving in the Kurdish region of Iraq. I have witnessed similar scenes in Syria's neighbouring countries but there was something especially poignant about this for me. Perhaps it was because the tranquil river scenery had so very little in common with the reality of what was going on on the other side of the Tigris:
lives crushed, hope abandoned, a bleak future
Among the new arrivals were young mothers with toddlers and babies, old men requiring helping hands to disembark and fearful-looking teenagers. For these young men the choice was very stark indeed – if they stay inside Syrian they will no doubt end up joining one of the warring factions, not necessarily by free choice.
Later I visited Domiz camp, with around 45,000 refugees – the largest of its kind in Iraq (it's there that the photo above was shot). While people looked less stressed than refugees I have seen elsewhere,
life is undoubtedly tough
It suddenly began to rain violently and the hard ground churned into dense, cloying mud. I was moved by the friendliness and the generosity of everyone I met.
I hear a lot about the enormous stresses and strains which these 2.5 million refugees are putting on Lebanon and Jordan as well as Turkey, but the situation in Iraq has a lower profile. I'm grateful for the opportunity I've had to see for myself how it is.
And on this tragic third anniversary of the Syrian war I hope and pray that reason will finally prevail and that humanity – which I've been fortunate to see the best of in the most terrible circumstances – will win out.

Nebraska farmer powers hog farm with manure

There's a lot of things you can do with it. )( NAT SND: Generator ) LIKE RUN THIS GENERATOR 24-7 IT CRANKS OUT ENOUGH ELECTRICITY TO POWER 53 HOMES. ( Danny Kluthe: NPPD buys all the electricity and puts it back into the grid.) AND CRANK OUT ENOUGH METHANE GAS TO POWER HIS CONVERTED TRUCK( nat snd: coupling gas hose ) AND TRACTOR.( Danny Kluthe: I;m getting 70 miles to the gallon on my diesel. ) IT'S ALL BECAUSE THE COLFAX COUNTY FARMER INSTALLED THIS ANAEROBIC DIGESTER. IT TAKES WHAT COMES FROM THE PIGS... AND EITHER MAKES OR SAVES HIM MONEY.( Danny Kluthe: replace 4 dollar diesel with a waste, hog manure that's awesome. ) AND THE REAL "POOP" ON THIS SYSTEM-- WELL IT KEEPS COMING.( Nat snd: gunt )( Danny Kluthe: it don't get anymore renewable than that.)

Graphic Economics
A collection of graphic representations of data by CEPR researchers on important economic issues.
The median and average duration of unemployment both rose in June, with the latter reaching a record high of 39.9 weeks. This corresponded to an increase of 89,000 in the number of workers who had been unemployed for more than 26 weeks. While the share of the long-term unemployed fell slightly due to a jump in newly unemployed workers, it has been creeping up again in the last half year after declining in the fall of 2010. This should be a major policy concern since the long-term unemployed tend to have great difficulty finding new employment.

Many analysts seem to have missed the fact that the plunge in house prices has sharply reduced homeowners' equity. According to data from the Federal Reserve Board, the ratio of homeowners' equity to value at the end of the first quarter was just 38.0 percent at the end of the first quarter, the lowest on record. Prior to the run-up of the housing bubble, the ratio of equity to value had never been below 60 percent and it had been near 67 percent until the late 80s. This massive loss in household wealth explains weaker consumption, not consumer pessimism.

Industry in Brazil outpaced services for the first time since spring 2010. Industry grew at an annualized rate of 8.9 percent, more than twice the rate of services (4.3 percent, annualized). However, the sector is still only 2.4 percent above its pre-recession peak. In comparison, the service sector is 8.5 percent above its pre-recession level, and the overall economy 7.1 percent above that point.

Venezuela's central bank (BCV) first-quarter GDP report shows an accelerating recovery: GDP grew 4.5% over its first-quarter 2010 level. For a closer look at the most recent quarter, we need seasonally adjusted data so we can compare it to the quarter just before it. The central bank's seasonally-adjusted series ends the third quarter of 2010, but we can estimate it more recently, using the same adjustment that the BCV uses. Two methods are shown here: first, a simple adjustment of the official, unadjusted GDP series, and second, the sum of the adjusted industry-specific GDP levels. The figure below shows the results of these estimates: first quarter GDP grew by either 9.8% or 9.6% on an annualized basis, depending on which adjustment method we use.

One especially discouraging sign in the latest jobs report was the loss of 2,200 jobs in the employment services sector following a weak gain in April. The weak growth in this sector, coupled with the stagnation in hours, suggests that job growth is not likely to accelerate soon. The weakness in the private sector goes along with a government sector that lost 29,000 jobs in May and has lost an average of 24,300 jobs over the last three months.

MarieRynr's Note:
This is a truly special dinner entree. A bit labor intensive to start off with, but once you have the glaze and cherry sauce done the rest of the preparation goes together like a dream, and the taste is out of this world. If you really have some special guests you want to impress, then this is the perfect choice. I accompany mine with sea salt roasted baby potatoes and green beans.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 2 cups merlot or 2 cups other red wine

- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (750 ml) bottle merlot

- 3Add the butter and stir until melted.
- 4Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- 5Keep warm until you are ready to serve.
- 6Preheat oven to 300*F.

- 9To prepare the lamb, season the racks well with salt and pepper.
- 10Heat the oil in a large saute pan over high heat until smoking hot.

- 16To serve, place the slices on a warm serving platter and drizzle with some of the sauce.
- 17Garnish with rosemary sprigs and serve warm, with any extra sauce on the side.

This excerpt from Lonely Planet's Morocco guide provides a selection of travel literature to enhance your trip.
Pin this image The Caliph's House by Tahir Shah is a brilliant account of how a writer and filmmaker left behind London life to renovate the djinn-haunted former home of the caliph of Casablanca – overflowing with insight and Moroccan characters writ large. Check out his more recent In Arabian Nights for his delving into Morocco's rich storytelling tradition.
Pin this image A young hippie takes her children to 1960s Marrakesh to find herself and an alternative life in Esther Freud's delightful and autobiographical Hideous Kinky. Famously made into a film starring Kate Winslet, the author's witty lightness-of-touch is even more engaging.
Pin this image Morocco: In the Labyrinth of Dreams and Bazaars by Walter M Weiss is an ambitious journey through the contradictions of modern Morocco from its polyglot past to its modern liberal-conservative fault lines.
Pin this image In The Spider's House, Paul Bowles presents Fez in the twilight of the French occupation as the arena for this political tour de force considered by many to be Bowles' finest. Daily Fez life, with its weblike complexities, provides a fascinating backdrop.
Pin this image If you fancy living the riad dream, first check out A House in Fez by Suzanna Clarke, an excellent recounting of her purchase and restoration of a townhouse in the heart of the Fez medina, and the many challenges therein.
Tangier: City of the Dream by Iain Finlayson is a great book to pack if you're entering Morocco through this 'seedy, salacious, decadent, degenerate' city. There are plenty of insights into the Beat Generation of writers including Paul Bowles, William S Burroughs and Jack Kerouac.
Pin this image Valley of the Casbahs: A Journey Across the Moroccan Sahara is an account of Jeffrey Taylers' epic modern-day camel journey from the Drâa Valley to the Atlantic, leaving behind tourist Morocco, with Berbers and a harsh desert terrain for company.
Pin this image If you think your feet felt sore after a short hike in the mountains, you'll appreciate Hamish Brown's The Mountains Look on Marrakech, an expert walker's elegant account of his 900-mile 96-day trek from one end of the Atlas to the other.
Pin this image Gavin Maxwell's Lords of the Atlas is a gripping story of intrigue and power amid the rise of the Glaoui family in southern Morocco. 'To call it a travel book is as inadequate as calling a camel a quadruped' wrote one reviewer, and we'd have to agree.
Pin this image As guidebook writers we always appreciate the best in travel writing, and Marrakech through Writers' Eyes edited by Barnaby Rogerson and Rose Baring is like one of those feasts of endless Moroccan dishes that you can dip into again and again.

No One Benefits From US Presence
American Military Bases in Japan - Yea or Nay?
Supposedly, the United States and Japan long ago resolved the most contentious security issue dividing the two countries: American bases on Okinawa. Washington was to consolidate its forces and replace Futenma Air Station with an offshore heliport. But voters in the Okinawa town of Nago recently rejected the plan. With Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto promising to respect his citizens' wishes, American deployments are again in doubt. The Nago vote is just the latest evidence that Japan's outdated security dependence on the US no longer serves the interests of either nation. It is time for a civil divorce.
Washington and Tokyo updated their military cooperation agreement last fall. But, given the fine print, Japan's professed willingness to cooperate beyond the defense of its own archipelago means little. Tokyo's military will not fight or even enter a combat zone, and Japan's logistics support excludes weapons and ammunition. Moreover, the Japanese government is cutting defense outlays, as well as host-nation support for the US.
The purpose of the existing security relationship has disappeared. In 1945, Washington was concerned about containing communism after the collapse of wartime Japan. Five decades later, communism has collapsed, while Japan has become an economic powerhouse. Yet, the US continues to bear a disproportionate defense burden, devoting roughly 4 percent of gross domestic product to its military, quadruple Japan's level.
Equally important, Americans remain at risk in order to guard Japan's national interests with little or no assistance from Tokyo. This was illustrated by Japan's tepid support for Washington's policies toward North Korea and China. Tokyo also has unambiguously stated its opinion of potential conflicts elsewhere in the region - they are America's problems. This relationship is hardly a serious partnership, let alone a military alliance worth the $20 billion or so it costs the US.
Although Japan benefits from this subsidy, it also suffers. The presence of thousands of primarily young males and the activities that inevitably accompany military bases fall heavily on local residents.

Feature Playful Leeds
Stevie J Kilgour looks at a scheme to make Leeds city centre more fun
Already a thriving hub for music, TV and sporting excellence within these fair isles, our wonderful city is again looking to lead the way in interactive art, creative play and inspiring the imagination of every man, woman and child in Leeds.
The Leeds-based community development consultancy Cultivate are looking to inspire minds and bring out the playful side of the city, through a new project called Playful Leeds. It works on the idea that childhood is not the only time in our life when we should take a moment to push our imagination, let out a burst of energy and…
News Searching for a Secret Millionaire
Channel 4's Secret Millionaire came to Leeds on 27th November and a donation was made to local chairty Simon on the Streets
It's the eon of email at our fingertips, social media sites bringing breaking news, and very few things more than a Google away – but it seems we still underestimate the power of the internet. The charity Simon on the Streets has received a phenomenal donation of £35,000 after it was provided with search engine optimisation (SEO), making it possible for Secret Millionaire, Charles Allen, to get in touch with the organisation.
The Leeds-based homeless charity was provided with free SEO recommendations from Search Laboratory (http://www.searchlaboratory.com/), taking it from online obscurity to the top of search engine…
Feature Howard Assembly Room Becomes a Leeds City Centre Wedding Venue
Opera North's performance space is Leeds' latest wedding venue and host of the LOVE weddings experience on 2nd October
Within our fair city lies a hidden gem, a subtle reminder of Leeds' historic culture. The Howard Assembly Room at the Leeds Grand Theatre, programmed by Opera North, represents the perfect marriageof historical elegance and modern eclecticism. The transformed venue, which reopened two years ago, is well known as a performance space and theatrical rehearsal room but, unbeknown to many, is also Leeds' most up and coming wedding venue.
Standing apart from other wedding locations in the area with its stunning Grade II* listed architecture, arched windows and high, barrel-vaulted ceiling, the Howard Assembly Room is one…
Feature Angel's Share Vintage Fair
The Angel's Share introduces tipsy shopping to its Retro Sundays
There is nothing quite like the joy of shopping while a bit drunk. It has its pitfalls, sure; a lime green polyester jumpsuit from the 80s always looks better after a couple of margaritas. But then, so does donning a comedy sombrero and emulating a stereotypical Mexican hombre, but we all know where that gets us, and Jeremy Clarkson. And who wants to be like Jeremy Clarkson?
Still, bringing together cocktails and clothes is a rather nice idea and one that the people at Angel's Share in Chapel Allerton have introduced to their popular Retro Sundays.
Every last Sunday afternoon,…

We find out about the Travelling Suitcase Library and Leeds Book Club
"The Travelling Suitcase Library is literally a suitcase full of books. It's not a library as such, where you have a membership. If you want to give me your email address I'll email you and let you know where I'm going to be, I have blogs that I update irregularly and it's literally just a book swap.
"It's a way of encouraging people to talk about the books they're reading and talk about things. It's also to encourage reading for pleasure as a hobby you can talk about in pubs and be proud of.

Feature Simon on the Streets
Sophie Haydock spent a night sleeping rough on the streets of Leeds
A couple of weeks ago I spent a night on the streets of Leeds. I was one of around 50 people who took part in a sponsored sleep out in Leeds. The night was organised by Simon on the Streets, a Leeds charity who work with homeless people in the area.
As I bedded down for the night in a cardboard box behind Leeds Parish church in the city centre, my thoughts weren't on the luxurious bed I'd left behind for the night, but on rats. I was worrying I'd wake up in the darkness with a rat…
Aireheads A Depress-fest
Larry & Paul have the winter blues
Well, there's no point clinging on to memories of the summer now is there? It's well and truly fled. Two quite large indicators: it's perpetually raining its arse off and everyone still has that cold they got a month ago when that beanpole of a man with a unibrow pretty much sneezed on their face and rubbed it in on the train to Burley Park. You know what we mean.
However, it'll take more than bad weather to dampen the spirits of Larry & Paul, let us tell you, dear reader! By golly! Huzzah!
So you can imagine the soul-crushing,…
Review Test Space Kitchen Leeds Beside the Sea
A strange foody feast came to Temple Works last fortnight
Candy floss, fish and chips and the sound of seagulls squarking – just another typical day at the seaside. But this scene wasn't in Whitby or any other town by the sea; this was Leeds on a Saturday night.
Leeds Beside the Sea was a one-night-only full-on seaside spectacle in a former flax mill known as Temple Works. The night, on Saturday 16th October, was hosted by Test Space Kitchen, who served up quite an authentic seaside feast – all of it with a twist: fish and chips in a cardboard tray and wooden fork, but with a very delicious…

reviews & comments (2)
Had hoped to find a recipe that did not call for leaven products, but this asks for baking powder. Unfortunately, the box of osem cake meal has no directions and I don't want to get on FB for recipes...thus, thought this sight might have options.
I haven't tried these cakes yet but I will. Please note the recipe says "Parve or Fleishig". It should say Parve or Milchig.Parve in Jewish dietary laws is a food that contains neither meat nor dairy products, so it can be eaten with either meat or milk. When butter is used it's a Milchig not Fleishig cake.

I was looking forward to this book after hearing an interview with Seth Godin, but there is very little in the 4 1/2 hours that isn't self evident to any reasonably educated professional. The book may be valuable at the high school or early college level in exposing students to ways of thinking about a career/profession.
"Watch the 60 Minutes Story on Flash Trading Instea"
I'm a huge Michael Lewis fan but this book should have been an Atlantic magazine article or ebook.
"Malcom Gladwell should sue"
I listened to about an hour of the book and most of the negative reviews are spot on. The book is completely derivative and the author is self aggrandizing about his accomplishments as a former top ping-pong player in Britian. Achieving that status is anything gives some insight into success but hearing the narrator drone on about the topic was too tiresome for me.
"Reads like non-fiction"
After 10 hours of listening and many well thought out, thorough explanations, I still can't coherently explain what a CDO is... And this is exactly the point of the book. Michael Lewis does an amazing job of allowing the reader the vantage point of the book's protagonists, who become increasingly more incredulous as they learn about the financial system they are betting against. Good stuff.

AIS 230 – Indian Gaming and Casinos (Wright)

Second glance a must for new 2010 petunias
As we ease into 2010 firmly in the grip of winter, it's fun to look at new plants heading our way, and new petunia colors and patterns will stretch our comfort zones.
A new Supertunia by the name of Pretty Much Picasso tops the list of unusual petunias coming this spring. I wasn't quite sure how to describe its unique color, so I went to the Proven Winners Web site and saw they list the color as "various." I suppose that's correct.
In our Mississippi State University trials, it looked purple with hints of magenta and margins that were a little lighter green than the leaves. I am a big fan of Supertunias as they are vigorous and spreading, reaching about 12 inches tall and spreading outward 3 feet.
Pan American is not to be outdone with unusual petunias. They are introducing the Sophistica Collection that includes one called Lime Bicolor, which is one of the most exotic petunias you'll ever see. It has lime green, cream and hot pink in somewhat irregular patterns. A Sophistica Antique has the same petals with shades of rose and cream, and a third variety is Sophistica Blue Morn. All are mounding petunias reaching about 14 inches tall.
Pan American also is introducing a multiflora Debonair Collection. The Debonair Dusty Rose is extraordinarily beautiful, with a nostalgic combination of rose and creams. The young flowers have a rich, saturated rose with a yellow-cream center. As the flowers age, they turn to a softer rose with a whiter cream.
These varieties have an abundance of all colors on one plant. It will definitely be a hit in containers on your porch, patio or deck.
The hit of many trials was Pan American Seed's Shock Wave Denim Blue. The Shock Wave petunias have smaller flowers but with the Easy wave habit; in other words, they are mounding with a slight spread.
What I like about Shock Wave Denim Blue is its fade that would normally be considered a fault, but in this case, it's a plus. Blue petunias are among the hottest sellers every year, and demand always makes them disappear first. Shock Wave Denim Blue flowers start off a rich, deep blue but then fade to various stages of blue depending on their age. In the end, you get a sea or carpet of several blue shades that really stands out in the landscape.
No matter what petunia you choose, your success will lie with bed preparation. Petunias prefer fertile, well-drained soil; tight, compacted clay will not produce the results you want. Take the time to work in compost, peat or humus so the roots of the plant will expand quickly, and when any spring deluge occurs, they will not be in standing water.
There are many more petunias to talk about. Rest assured that you will want to visit your garden center early and often during the spring 2010 garden season.
